>deep down we want only to feel power
But thats not true. Everyone has really different views. Just look at religions and how the submit for their God.

Adorno wrote about how human history is essentially the history of the attempt at self preservation by dominating a violent and unrelenting nature, and that in modern times we have succeeded in not preserving the self but dominating nature and thus every thing we do is colored by domination and our barbaric nature is bubbling closer and closer to the surface erryday, and everything we call culture is just a veiled outlet for this barbarism with varying degrees of complexity.

You're forgetting how he made all of that up just to discredit political opponents because his "barbarians who just want to dominate" were always the others while he and his friends just wanted to bring peace to the world.

Hadn't heard that side of it. Even if it's true i think his ideas are worth exploring, but I'm biased because I had one of his main translators as a professor. Can you elaborate?
